Professional Awards Jury Comments
In March of 2002, the Shenyang City in North
China’s Liaoning Province commissioned the designer to create a
new, 80 hectares suburban campus for Shenyang Architectural University.
Originally located downtown, the university was established in 1948
and played an important role in educating architects and civil engineers
for the city of Shengyang and for the country as well. But due to
a recent dramatic national surge of interest in architecture in
China, the enrollment of the school ballooned, creating congestion
and overcrowding in its downtown, urban location. After much deliberation,
the school decided the best solution was to move the entire campus
to the suburbs. This project is one portion of the campus at the
southwest side of the campus, with an area of 3 hectares.
The design had to contend with the following
existing site conditions and budgetary limitations:
Former
agricultural use: the new site for the proposed campus
was originally a rice field, the origin of the famous “Northeast
Rice,” known for high quality due to cool climate and its longer
growing season than the those from southern China (one single crop
of rice in this area will last from mid-May until the end of October,
while in southern China it can only last 100 days. This is one reason
that rice can be used as a landscaping material). The soil quality
was good and a viable agricultural irrigation system was still in
place.
Small budget: only about
one US dollar per square meter was allocated for landscaping. Most
of the budget funded the design and construction of 320,000 sq m
of new university buildings.
Short timeline: the
university required the design to be developed and implemented within
one year. Classes were expected to begin in the fall semester of
2003.
Landscape architec ts working in China must address issues of food
production and sustainable land use, two of the biggest current
issues on China’s horizon as the country moves towards modernization.
The overwhelming urbanization process in China is inevitably encroaching
upon a large portion of China’s arable lands. With a population
of 1.3 billion people, but with only 18% arable land, China is in
danger of using up one of its very valuable and limited resources.
The concept of this design seeks to use
rice, native plants and crops to keep the landscape productive
while also fulfilling its new role as an environment for learning.
It is designed to raise awareness of land and farming amongst
college students who are leaving the land to become city dwellers.
In addition, the designer also seeks to demonstrate how inexpensive
and productive agricultural landscape can become, through careful
design and management, usable space as well.
Major features include:
The productive campus rice paddy: not only
designed to be a campus with small open platforms, spanning the
landscape, the campus is also a completely functional rice paddy,
complete with its own system of irrigation;
Other native crops, such as buckwheat grow
in rotation across the campus, annually. Native plants line pathways;
The productive aspect of the landscape draws
both students and faculty into the dialogue of sustainable development
and food production. By situating a new architecture school within
a functioning rice paddy, the design allows the process of agriculture
to become transparent and accessible to all on campus. Management
and student participation become part of the productive landscape.
The farming processes can potentially become a laboratory for students
and the faculty as well.
Golden Rice became an university icon: the rice produced on the
campus is harvested and distributed as “Golden Rice,” serving both
as a keepsake for visitors of the school, and also as a source of
identity for the newly established, suburban campus. But perhaps
most importantly of all, the widespread distribution of “Golden
Rice” could raise awareness of new hybrid landscape solutions that
could both continue old, yet crucial uses such as food production,
while supporting new uses, such as the education of China’s new
architects.

The Rice Planting Day: the first
Saturday after mid May was designated as the Rice planting
day for the university. Students and faculty members will
celebrate the planting of rice seedlings. It is an unforgettable
and unique experience to the students, and is becoming
an integral part of the university culture (photo: Kongjian
Yu, Chao Yang).

The Rice Harvesting Day: The last Saturday of October
each year was designated as the Rice Harvesting Day, when
all the students and faculty members participate in harvesting
the their own rice. This way, the long lost tradition
of rice culture in China becomes a campus culture (photo:
